Transcendentalist Journal Entry #4


Transcendentalist Journal Entry #4
Today is a beautiful day. The sun is shining brightly and the air smells sweet. It is a little bit chilly, but the sun makes it warm enough that one would only need a light jacket on. The wind is blowing softly, making the bare branches of the trees sway slightly. It adds to the chill, but still doesn't make it too cold. The way that the sun filters through the trees is very pretty, and it does much to lift my spirits. I can hear my neighbor's dog barking, but that doesn't bother me as much as it used to. Everything seems very fresh-like spring is right around the corner, waiting to come out. The sky is very blue with very few clouds, and everything is very bright. I can hear the wind whistle through the trees and the dead leaves. All of the plants are starting to look green again. I can't wait for spring to come.
Today Nature lifted my spirits. Tech Week starts tomorrow, and so I have to get my Presidential Report and many other pieces of homework done today- which is a bummer. Getting to take a quick break outside made me feel happy. It readied me to spend the rest of the afternoon at my computer getting to know more about FDR than I have ever wanted to know in my entire life.
Nature can make people feel better. It can act to lift people out of sadness, and give them something to be happy about. It can also make people feel renewed- especially during the spring.
